Monograph devoted to the life and work of Maria Nicz-Borowiakowa, one of the most important figures of the Polish artistic avant-garde of the interwar period. The artist, although less well known than some of her contemporaries, had a significant impact on the development of art in Poland, particularly in the fields of painting, printmaking and drawing. Maria Nicz-Borowiakowa was associated with the avant-garde movement, and her works were characterized by a modern approach to space, color and composition. She worked in printmaking, often dealing with social and political themes. The publication is based on archival research and contemporary analyses of NIcz-Borowiakowa’s work, offering a new, more complete picture of this figure.

The book comes from a bibliophilic thematic sub-collection of some 500 specialized titles on Polish painting of the 19th and 20th centuries. A copy in a fine leather binding made in the bindery of the Polish Antiquarian.
